I’m trying to direct a character but Episode won’t validate the directing command because there is a space in her name “Queen Lillian”. I’ve been searching everywhere but the tutorials don’t help seeing as my problem isn’t directing but just validating the character itself. Im hoping somebody else has come across the same problem and knows how to help me. I have already tried deleting the deleting the space, adding a slash, and underscore… none of which helped

Her script name is Queen Lillian or her Display name is Queen Lillian? There is a difference.

The script name is what you refer to your character as in the script.
Example: @BOB exits left

The display name is what your readers say.

You write:
BOB
Hi, I’m Billy.

The reader sees:
BILLY
Hi, I’m Billy.

Even though you put “BOB” as his script name.

That being said, script names can’t have spaces in them, but display names can. And your display name does NOT have to be the same as the script name, as seen above with the BOB/BILLY example.

By changing your characters display name, you do not change their script name and MUST refer to them in the script by their script name. So, anything I want Billy to do, has to use the script name BOB.

So, make a character named QUEEN or LILLIAN as the script name and save that. When it gets the the part where you edit her character, you’ll see a box that says “DISPLAY NAME” type in Queen Lillian and customize her and then save her.
When she speaks, her name will come up as QUEEN LILLIAN, but you have to refer to her as the name without the space.
